The downloader preference can be turned off as described previously, but with the Organizer not opening properly I don’t know of any other method of disabling it. Lastly, make sure you have admin rights and turn off any virus protection while installing. Basically a through cleaning of old PSE3 files is in order before trying to reinstall. It may be and may look something like mine C:\Documents and Settings\Jimmy.WINXP-MYTOY\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements. Further, you may find additional files in your personal folder that may have had your PSE3 settings and preferences saved. Check to make sure C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements is deleted. If it is presently uninstalled on your system, you might want to make sure C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 3.0 is deleted. It sounds like the reinstall is picking up some files from prior installs. Click on Ok and you should be in business. Then select Camera or Card Reader and uncheck the use Adobe Photo Downloader in the import section.

This will put you in Elements Organizer preferences.

How can I disable it? I am using Photoshop 3.Open Elements 3.0, go to Edit>preferences> organize and share. I don’t want it because I already have a asystem that I use and I am used to it. If so, I apologize.Įvery time I start to download my camera the "Adobe Photo Downloader" screen pops up automatically and tries to help. I have more than enough confusion with some other photo programs trying to be helpful. Now, what? I have taken PSE 3 off my computer. I found "My Catalog.psa" which is a PSA File of 292kb. We then end up going around in circles ad infinitum. It gives me the option to repair and says it is successful but it really is not.

I found the browser button of which you spoke and when I tried to use that it gave me the same message – may be open, files missing, out of date or damaged, etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PS Elements 3.
